The cleanup is nice but now freeze_super() does not increment s_active
anymore so nothing prevents the superblock from being torn down while it is
frozen. This is a behavioral change that needs documenting in the changelog
if nothing else but I think it may be actually problematic if the
filesystem's ->put_super method gets called on frozen filesystem. So I
think we may need to also block attempts to unmount frozen filesystem -
actually GFS2 needs this as well [1].
